Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in St. George, Utah (UT)

January 5, 2022 Deane Carmody

St. George is central to some of the most dramatic natural beauty in the American West, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains. While its summers are hot, St. George's mild and largely snow-free winters make it popular with golfers, hikers and bikers. In fact, Brigham Young wintered here – his home in town is open to the public.

Kayenta

The Kayenta Community, in southern Utah's red rock country, is a tranquil enclave surrounded by protected lands.A 2,000 acre master planned community of fine homes, custom building sites and community amenities, is located 7 miles west of St. George, Utah. Kayenta is a unique departure from the norm, focused on moderate land use, moderate-sustainable growth, and an appreciation for our magnificent natural setting. Nearby, residents find adventure in the southwest's abundance of places to explore. Zion National Park, Snow Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park are within view. While just beyond the horizon, adventure seekers will discover places like the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas.

We biked to Kayenta Art Village from IBB Cyclery where we rented bikes and had an awesome family ride up to the village where we ate at Xetava Gardens Cafe (Yum!). A beautiful, scenic ride back to the bike shop concluded a fabulous family outing.

While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.

Mountain Meadow Massacre Memorial

Reviewed By Ldean3954 - Arizona, United States

I had heard some of the history of this tragic incident, but being here made it seem so much more real. From the overlook, you could imagine the terror felt by those under attack. It was easy to imagine the sounds of gunshots and screams and the treachery of the militia who lured the travelers into surrender, then murdered them. We visited on a chilly day and had all four sites to ourselves.

8. Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site

Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site

Reviewed By EDWARDP961 - Spring Branch, United States

This place is not hard to find once you get good directions. Had to go to Google to get the coordinates. Take highway 7 east from I15. Go to river road and take the gravel road heading south. You will see a petroglyph sign within a quarter mile or so. Then the adventures begin. It is a rough long road. You will eventually get there. The petroglyphs are still visible though a bit weathered. The hike is short as promised.
